Support arrearages

[jb8849]

I reside in Utah (where order was established) and ex moved to Nevada in August 1999. He has not paid child support since then. Supposedly, the Nevada attorney general's office is serving him with papers for non-payment of support. I've waited two months for this to happen. Is it possible to find out more info: when, where for court? Is there any possibility that he might be required to pay his support any time soon?

I can tell you from first hand experience, these things take time.. sometimes too long. I would contact the DA in your county that the order was established in and pursue criminal non support. Also if he files a tax return... you may be getting that next year if there is a refund.

That makes sense to me, but Utah tells me that they no longer "work" the case because they've turned it over to Nevada. Nevada tells me that Utah is working the case. I just get confused and have headaches. Methinks the states are confused .... or lazy.

Utah has continuing Jurisdiction, NV is just the enforcing state. In other words, NV cannot modify the Utah order in any way, all they have the jurisdiction to do is enforce the income withholding. Dont let them get to you. They all try to pass the buck. Like I had stated if they dont do anything for you soon, get hold of your District Attorney, the CSEA can also keep pursuing support from their end, but you can also get criminal charges pressed against him. Maybe that will motivate him to send some money a little quicker.
Also, if all else fails and you can afford to let someone have a percentage of any funds they collect for you try:

or any other private child support enforcement comp. and they can get more accomplished as they are more aggressive in their collection methods.

Good Luck to you.
